St Finbarr’s and Clonakilty are the favourites to make the final of Division 1 in the McCarthy Insurance Group Cork Football League after both teams registered important wins in the penultimate round of the competition. They are tied on 14 points each as both sides took advantage of Nemo Rangers dropping points against their neighbours from Douglas.

Clon welcomed bottom-placed Carrigaline to town on Sunday morning, knowing that a win would put them top of the table as they enjoy the head-to-head advantage over the Barrs. They ran out winners by 2-17 to 2-12 in Ahamilla as Carrigaline fought tooth and nail to get themselves out of the relegation zone. Dara Ó Sé top scored for Clon with 0-5, Ross Campbell and James Mannix both grabbed 1-1, Conor Daly clipped 0-3 while Sean McEvoy contributed 0-2. Niall Coakley matched Ó Sé's 0-5 for Carrig while Kieran McCarthy and Ryan Delaney both registered 1-1.
